'I watched fiancée dying after lorry crash'

A MAN today described the horror of running to help his dying fiancée after she was struck by a lorry.

Gavin Blundell had said goodbye to Hannah Lis as she left their west London flat to buy groceries. Minutes later he heard sirens, ran to his balcony and saw his 23-year-old fiancée lying in Earl's Court Road. When he got to Hannah she was surrounded by medics but was pronounced dead later at hospital.

Mr Blundell, 28, who worked full-time as Hannah's carer, said: "She was my whole life." Miss Lis, an Open University student, suffered a stroke aged 11 which left her without the use of her left arm. The couple met in 2005 and were planning to marry next year.

Witnesses to the accident, near the junction with Old Brompton Road at about 2pm on Wednesday 3 December, should call 020 7321 9907.
